The few days of married life with Yoruichi had been, on the whole, very satisfying for Kenma.
After all, Yoruichi was outstanding in every way, be it her figure, looks, family background, or temperament. She was even Kenma's top choice.
Moreover, Yoruichi had a lively and cheerful personality. She was uninhibited when enjoying the pleasures of the bed and was very cooperative with some of Kenma's requests.
Except for the very beginning, which was her first time and made her a little resistant.
After some getting used to it, once she experienced pleasure, she clearly developed a taste for it, enjoyed it, and became more and more addicted.
Her demand in this area increased exponentially, as if she wanted to drain all of Kenma's accumulated energy from over the years.
Only after sating Yoruichi each time could Kenma go and deal with the matters at hand.
As these few days passed, the impact of the Shihoin family's wedding gradually cooled down.
Kenma and Yoruichi had also completed the various noble wedding procedures and the exchange of gifts, finally getting a moment of peace.
After temporarily placating Yoruichi, Kenma came to his study.
Here were the wedding gifts from the Uchiha clan and the pirates and marines, which he had yet to open and see.
Frankly, he was quite curious about what these two groups would have prepared for him.
"Shisui, help me guard the outside. If anyone comes, just inform me."
"As you command."
Shisui remained at the door, while Kenma went to the back of the room and opened the gift box from Ace.
What met his eyes was a bizarrely shaped fruit.
Its outline resembled an apple, but its surface was covered in bumpy protrusions, uneven and with swirl-like patterns on it.
"This is… a Devil Fruit!"
How could Kenma not recognize what this was.
Devil Fruits, the secret treasures of the sea.
Eating one would grant incredible abilities. The powers of Whitebeard, Ace, and the others were obtained after eating Devil Fruits.
Besides the advantage of gaining an ability, there was naturally a corresponding price.
The disadvantage was that one would be rejected by the sea, becoming a landlubber, unable to enter the sea for the rest of their life.
Upon contact with seawater, or with Sea-Prism Stone, which was the essence of the sea, the user would become weak all over and unable to use their fruit's ability.
For the current Kenma, this item was not particularly precious, but it was quite rare.
He just didn't expect Ace and the others to find this as a wedding gift. It was truly a rare find.
'They must have entrusted Yakumi to find it on the sea.'
'I wonder what kind of ability this Devil Fruit has…'
He estimated that Whitebeard, Ace, and the others probably didn't know either.
For Yakumi, by his own efforts, to find this one fruit in the vast sea was already quite an achievement.
It must have taken a great deal of effort to successfully obtain it.
How could there be so much spare energy to investigate the ability of this fruit?
Kenma felt the sincerity of these people and couldn't help but nod, very satisfied with this gift.
Although he had no use for this Devil Fruit at the moment.
"In the future, I'll see if anyone wants it and give it to them."
By then, the ability would naturally be clear.
Kenma put away the fruit and placed it in the back of the study.
Then he took out the wedding gift from the Uchiha clan.
"I wonder what the Uchiha clan would give…"
Just as Kenma was about to open it, he heard a series of trivial and noisy shouts from outside the door.
Immediately after, there was a knock on the door.
Shisui's voice sounded.
"My lord, Lord Tensen Shōun, Lord Nobunaga, and Lord Yoichi, the three of them are here."
Kenma's expression did not change. He had already identified the visitors from the voices just now.
After placing the gift box under his desk, he sighed, vaguely guessing the purpose of their visit.
"Quickly open the door and invite them in."
Kenma went to greet them and saw the three of them just arriving at the courtyard gate.
They were bickering as they walked, occasionally trading punches and kicks.
When the three entered the courtyard and saw Kenma and Shisui standing at the door of the house, they immediately stopped their squabbling.
Tensen Shōun waved at Kenma.
"Oh, Kenma, we were bored here, so we came to find you."
"Idiot, we are guests in someone else's house. How can you say that?"
Nobunaga immediately chopped his head with the side of his hand.
"Toyohisa, watch what you say before you speak. You really should change this habit of acting without reading the atmosphere."
Tensen Shōun immediately returned the favor with a punch.
"You idiot old man, this has been my personality since I was a child. Why do I need to change it!"
"Also, you can talk, but why did you have to hit me!"
Seeing the two of them about to fight again, Yoichi at the side quickly stepped between them to stop them.
"You two idiots, stop it right now!"
But Yoichi's intervention only annoyed the two, and they both turned on him.
In an instant, the three of them were fighting again.
Seeing the chaotic scene, Kenma shook his head slightly, and Shisui also scratched his cheek.
After spending these few days with them, Shisui had also figured it out.
When these three were together, they would always start fighting over some trivial verbal dispute. And every time after a fight, they could immediately make up as if nothing had happened.
It was hard to say whether the relationship between the three of them was good or bad.
Or perhaps, they just liked to fight?
As for their unique way of getting along, Kenma had witnessed it for so many years and had long since gotten used to it.
After separating the three fighters with Shisui, Kenma invited them to the tea room.
After Shisui finished making tea, he pushed the cups in front of the bruised and swollen trio and then withdrew.
"Grandfather, are you three… alright?"
"We're fine, we're fine, the three of us are great," Nobunaga and Yoichi said, waving their hands.
Tensen Shōun, on the other hand, after taking a sip of tea, immediately complained, "This kid has no idea how to make tea. He's wasted this good tea."
"Idiot, what nonsense are you spouting, you fool!"
"Nobunaga is right, you fool Toyohisa, don't show off your tea ceremony, you dead man!"
Seeing the three of them about to start kicking and punching again, leading to another chaotic fight, Kenma quickly stopped them.
"Stop, stop, stop!"
"You three, stop fighting."
After putting in some effort to persuade them to stop, Kenma quickly asked, "Grandfather, if you need anything, you could have just called for me. This time you came to find me…"
"We have stayed here for so long, it's time for us to leave."
Tensen Shōun directly stated his purpose for coming.
"No matter what the three of us were in life, after death we are just lonely wandering souls, not Shinigami. According to the rules, we cannot stay in the Seireitei for too long."
"Before, it was the special occasion of your wedding. Now that the wedding is over, the few of us have seen you get married and start a family, and we are all content."
"Also, I think the feng shui here in your house is not good. After staying for a few days, the three of us are feeling a little unwell. We were thinking it's time to go back to the Rukongai to relax, so we came to bid you farewell."
Kenma nodded.
The three of them were extremely ordinary souls and could not survive in the high-concentration spirit particle environment of the Seireitei.
Staying for too long could easily lead to a sudden death.
The Seireitei also had some rules and regulations in this regard, prohibiting ordinary souls from residing there for long.
For the safety of the three of them, it was indeed time to leave the Seireitei.
Kenma pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Grandfather, and Lord Nobunaga, Yoichi, do the three of you want to possess spiritual pressure and become as powerful as those Shinigami?"
Hearing this, the three of them were all shocked.
